Methow Arts is Making a Difference.

Children working on art projects with paint and collage materials in a classroom.

Our mission is to inspire artistic curiosity, empower creativity, and propel the creative economy in Okanogan County.

Because art weaves the fabric of humanity, awakens the spirit, enables self-expression, and supports belonging, we believe: Art matters - for all of us.

“I have witnessed a student who struggled with verbal communication find passion in painting watercolors to music, & then she used her art to communicate her feelings.”

— Methow Valley Teacher

"Art class is where I feel most like myself. I can be creative & share my ideas without worrying about being judged. It's my favorite part of the week."


— Art Student

"An English language learner bonded with his teacher & gained confidence in his artistic instincts, using art to express himself & overcome language barriers."
